Samsung?!?!?!

Samsung must be selling all these phones to their GSM customers because their CDMA phones are utter crap, bad reception, poor build quality, and often they'll lose service permantly (like the SCH-a870...worst Samsung phone ever built). Honestly, I'm surprised LG hasn't taken this spot considering they are about 90% of what I sell..of course I work for Verizon which has a love affair with LG so that might be why.

Is Moto still good?

I don't currently own a Motorola but thought about upgrading to one. I have the LG 8350 right now. It appears that Moto is hurting itself by lagging in innovation. If this is all it is than I may still get a Moto. I've always thought their quality was decent. I'm thinking about getting the Moto Rapture VU30. Any comments on this?

The newer Motorola models have been great so far, the Rapture is a good choice.
